Yes, as Espurrr states, there is only a very tiny amount of THH in rue seeds, see below:
"Hallucinogenic Plants in the Mediterranean Countries"
Ioannis D. Passos, Maria Mironidou-Tzouveleki, in Neuropathology of Drug Addictions and Substance Misuse, 2016
From above article: "The content of dried seeds of the plant in harmine is about 4.3% w/w, 5.6% in harmaline, 0.6% in harmalol, and 0.1% in tetrahydroharmine."
There is less than 0.1% THH in rue seeds (next to nothing), but THH is the 2nd largest alkaloid in Caapi used in traditional Ayahuasca, often found in 1:1 ratio of harmine to THH in vegetal brews: see attached PDF, or go here:

Hmmmm. The *iftmode stuff is bogus, right?
Some people have reported it is manufactured in China as it comes with a data sheet indicating so, a handfull of people have reported it glowing green and not pale blue when swabbed with a cue tip wet in vinegar, smear cue tip on paper plate, hold under UV blacklight, what color is the smear? See below how to test. One or two people have reported it glowing pale blue, we don't know yet if it is due to certain batches being contaminated with harmaline, or if some batches are pure, I have not bought any, and don't plan to, as I make my own very pure THH as stated above, anyone can convert harmaline to pure THH if you follow post #12 in link given above.
How to know if your THH is real or contaminated with harmaline:
1) Wet a cue tip in vinegar, then dab the wet cue tip in some of your tetrahydroharmine, then smear the cue tip on a paper plate, hold paper plate under blacklight, if the smear glows pale blue, you have THH, if it glows greenish, then you have harmaline contamination in your THH.
Keep in mind harmine also glows pale blue, so keep that in mind. LSD and psilocin also glow pale blue when swabbed, smeared on plate, and held under uv blacklight.
Be-ware cheap China made THH as a handful of people have reported it does not glow blue under blacklight, but green, indicating the process was not carried out to completion, harmaline contamination, incomplete synthesis. I recommend making your own or quality sources.
Note: THH is very stable, I've had 2 grams of THH stored in a closet in a container that is 7 years old, that still glows pale blue under UV light when dabbed with a cue tip wet in vinegar and smeared on a paper plate. It does not convert back to harmaline in my experience, extremely stable. So don't accept the excuse that "some of the China made THH is just converting back to harmaline", it simply doesn't happen...the newly created hydrogen bond on the beta-carboline does not disappear.
2) Dab some pure THH on your tongue, wait a few minutes, it leaves a lingering metallic like taste due to the hydrogen bonds on the beta carboline.
L-dreamer post #401 of link below:
no need to worry, the THH I have is 100% legit. It's just that sublingual DMT requires harmine or harmaline (sublingual or oral) to activate from my testing. At this point I am trying to see how exactly it works and what kind of harmalas are needed. Sublingual DMT isn't like vaped DMT where you don't need harmine or harmaline IMO.
The reasons I know my THH is legit are:
- had actual visions on it+DMT+ sublingual harmalas (even 35 mg can work). Visions of incredibly beautiful women (think Greek goddesses archetypes) are for me one of the hallmarks of THH
- enhances music
- leads to slight dizziness at that dosage but no actual nausea
- powerful mood enhancement for days after I have taken it: less anxiety, and less neuroticism

Thanks for all these awesome answers! in particular @ava69, it seems this substance can give me the experience I'm looking for! Which dosage of THH should I take for my vaporhuasca sessions? should I REPLACE the rue seed, take less rue seed (usually 3grams) or just add 150/300mg of THH?
ORALLY: It is up to you how you dose the rue seed and THH. If you take DMT orally, you should take it at the exact same time as your harmine (150mg) and THH (150mg to 300mg) all mixed together into a single hot 1 to 2 oz tea, and drink at the exact same time as the Shaman's do. Add a bit of vitamin C powder to help the harmalas dissolve if they are in freebase form. Your experience will be x3 times more powerful, just like actual Ayahuasca prepared jungle leaf brew if you complex the DMT for oral use, as it will absorb many factors better orally, see here:

SUBLINGUALLY: But you will need to take the THH around 45 minutes orally before you take the DMT sublingually (as a beginner start with only 150mg pure THH). THH extends the half life of the DMT dramatically from 45 minutes to 90 minutes when DMT is used orally or sublingually, and harmine is needed to activate the DMT so it lasts much longer.
I don't vape anything, so I can't answer your vape questions, as I use traditional Ayahuasca, however, I take 300mg of pure THH orally 45 minutes before, then take 30mg HPBCD complexed sublingual harmine (has the power of 30 x 6 or 180mg of oral harmine) at the exact same time under tongue as 90 to 150mg of HPBCD complexed DMT, both held under tongue for 15 minutes, this simulates oral Ayahausca for me, done it over 60 times in 15 months if you count the number of times I re-dose which is usually once again at the 1.5 hour point, no need to re-dose the THH as it has a half life of 10.5 hours with peak at 5.25 hours.
Here are a few of my latest 300mg oral THH + 30mg sublingual HPBCD complexed harmine + 90 to 150mg HPBCD complexed DMT trip reports with pics, just as strong as oral Ayahuasca (it still lasts 1.5 hour) but without all the nausea, dizziness and weird feelings often common with oral brews:

Here are 3 trip reports to give you an idea of how THH adds to the experience:
Latest Sublingual Ayahuasca Journey #57 (5-20-2022):
300mg oral THH + 30mg sublingual harmine + 60mg sublingual DMT feels like 300mg mescaline
300mg oral THH + 30mg sublingual harmine + 90mg sublingual DMT feels like 400mg mescaline
300mg oral THH + 30mg sublingual harmine + 120mg sublingual DMT feels like 500mg mescaline
300mg oral THH + 30mg sublingual harmine + 150mg sublingual DMT feels like 600mg mescaline
For new people: I would recommend 60mg for a +3 Shulgin strength. This is the beginning dose, remember this works for 1.5 hour, the 60mg is needed to provide the horsepower for the long duration. 12 reasons why you should always include from 150 to 300mg oral pure THH around 45 minutes before with your sublingual Ayahuasca in references below, content #4.
Yesterday 5-20-2022, at 3pm, I used 300mg pure THH orally 45 minutes before, then 30mg harmine mixed with 120mg dmt all on a single spoon with (30 x 7 = 210mg HPBCD) + (120 x 7 = 840mg HPBCD) = 1050mg total HPBCD mixed and crushed back and forth on the spoon for 2 minutes using the end of another spoon with 10 drops boiling hot water, placed bottom side of tongue onto spoon, it all adhered as HPBCD forms sticky complexes, studies show HPBCD complexed freebase drugs increase absorption sublingually x 400 percent, held under tongue for 15 minutes, viewed incredible CEV's for 1 hour...
....this time the geometries skipped and went straight to realistic visions: I viewed incredibly beautiful women morphing into other beautiful women, all neon colored, these women changed into nearly 20 different women, completely naked and with animated face changes, infinite beauty, mind blowing CEV's...like the most incredible cartoon renderings of the most beautiful women, they even had geometric swirling pastels on the surface of their bodies...completely blown away. I usually use this at least once a week, just incredible. When I say animated, these women smiled and blew kisses and moved into all different positions...like watching a movie. They made intimate eye contact and communicated via physical motions. This was a +5 Shulgin level experience, this felt like direct communication and receiving of important artistic creative feelings and insights into the feminine domain.
I recorded this journey as one of the most visual of my entire life, never have I seen an hour's worth of beautiful women morphing into other women, with swirling geometric pastel patterns on their naked bodies, communicating physically, this is an artist's dream come true, way beyond 4k, visual detail astounding. I had headphones on, and the music sounded as if I had taken a strong bridgesii cactus tea (18" of bridgesii or around 500mg of mescaline), profound music enhancement, just heavenly, powerful spiritual insights, infinite open eyed beauty and neon colors splashed on all the walls, very powerful experience, it was so strong I started to feel the sublingual harmine/dmt starting to work in only 10 minutes, incredible blast off, lasted 1.5 hour with very strong trip, with 1 full hour of powerful closed eye visions as stated above. Zero nausea, zero dizziness, zero anxiety, fast comeup, had not used THH or DMT in two weeks, this may explain the powerful realistic visions.
The harmine and dmt needs to be taken mixed together and held under tongue at the EXACT SAME TIME, just as the Shaman's do for the most powerful experience, the harmine also helps masks the mild sting of the HPBCD DMT, it is actually comfortable under the tongue, and the sting becomes extremely mild with the harmine helping to mask.
For me, with every sublingual Ayahuasca journey, a higher level of consciousness is awake at one with being, beyond thought and the mind: the realization that all the things that truly matter - the spiritual, beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind, each journey awakens me and teaches me how to access this level of consiousness in everyday practice, to be the observer of the thinker, to rise above thought, a sense of stillness and peace, to be fully present in the moment, to feel the subtle emanation of joy arising from deep within: the joy of Being.

1st sublingual Ayahuasca Journey, April 21 2021:
On my very first 300mg oral THH taken 45 minutes earlier + sublingual 60mg HPBCD DMT fb (60mg DMT complexed to x7 or 420mg HPBCD in 6 drops boiling hot water) combined with sublingual 30mg HPBCD harmine fb (30mg harmine complexed to x6 or 180mg HPBCD in 3 drops boiling hot water) held under tongue at exact same time journey with 2 sublingual re-doses at each 1.5 hour mark (had not used dmt in several months):
...all the way till 5am in the morning I was seeing closed eye visions of slow and high speed movies...I saw brightly colored serpents, dungeons I traveled thru, many Mesoamerican pyramids, women of incredible beauty, Japanese landscapes, dancing geometrics, many different animals on a rotating globe, walking on the planet-like globe as it spun, hundreds of visions like slow and high-speed movies over the course of many hours.
I wore headphones and listened to music the whole time, as the music sounded just like if I had taken a very strong cactus tea.
I saw the interiors of many magnificent homes, exposed like a camera flash went off, then off to the next home interior, bizarre alien looking creatures, I saw ancient ruins but they were seen as they were before they fell apart. All sorts of architectural wonders appeared that I could not make out exactly what time period they were from.
All the visions were enchanting & manifested incredible beauty. The multi-colored beautiful serpents kept appearing several times in different forms, as if they have some prominence to do with it all, two of them had shining skin covered in gold scales and intertwined like DNA, reminds me of the Aztec quetzalcoatl myth, the "serpent of precious feathers."
...all of these visions were brightly colored due to the sublingual DMT/harmine and oral THH combo all night long..it was one of the most powerful psychedelic experiences of my life...and I've taken Ayahuasca x 70 times, cactus 200 times, etc...I have never had over 5 hours of non-stop CEV visions anything close to what I saw that first night.
The visions inspired me to buy a book on the Aztec myth of "Quetzalcoatl, the serpent of precious feathers", as I feel somehow this entity is a "teacher to mankind". I saw the brightly colored serpents many times in the 5 hours of visions, and now I understand why they are so commonly reported in Ayahuasca journeys.

sublingual Ayahuasca Journey #56, April 22, 2022:
1) Stirred, mashed and mixed the 30mg harmine along with the 180mg HPBCD for 2 minutes on a spoon using the end of another spoon in the 3 drops hot water, it complexes very fast due to the dust-like crystal size of harmine, it appears to work in only 30 seconds.
2) Then stirred, mashed and mixed the 150mg dmt along with the 1050mg HPBCD in 10 drops hot water on a spoon using the end of another spoon for 2 minutes, using muscles to crush or knead it hard together back and forth...then held lighter 1" away from under bottom of spoon for 20 seconds, then mixed contents 10 more seconds...this 20 second light heating really aids the complete dissolution or dissolving of the 2 ingredients. Like a tornado, the dmt is trapped inside the HPBCD cone. This makes it not only very water soluble, but studies show this enhances penetration into the sublingual mucosa under the tongue by up to 400%.
Pic1: top to bottom: 300mg pure THH to take orally 45 minutes before, 30mg harmine, 180mg HPBCD to complex to the harmine, 150mg dmt, 1050mg HPBCD to complex the dmt.
Update 3pm: I took 300mg THH 45 minutes before, then the harmine/dmt complex held under tongue for 15 minutes...mind blowing experience...with eyes closed for an entire hour I witnessed the most incredible evolving dancing kaleidoscopic geometrics I've ever seen, way beyond anything I've ever seen before: thousands of fine intricate geometries....and all incredible neon yellow, pink, green, blue, violet...at some points the geometries evolved into Egyptian cat women and Indian goddesses. I was blow away, I had music playing, mind blowing music enhancement...so heavenly...
With open eyes, incomprehensible "over the top" infinite beauty everywhere, everything glowed with an intense inner divine light, diamond like shimmering...the movie playing had actresses who looked like glowing, dazzling super colorful cartoon versions of themselves.
This felt like 600mg of mescaline, +5 Shulgin level experience, incredible deep head space and profound spiritual insights.
Best part: zero nausea, zero dizziness, zero anxiety. Pure euphoria and bliss. I will continue to use this weekly for the rest of my life.
